Chapter 153: Xu Tian Hunting

"If there is anything that can happen, I will go and inform the second brother immediately, and we will go to have a drink!" Zhang Fei said with a smile.

In Cao Cao's mansion, Xun Yu and a group of strategists came to see him and said, "The Son of Heaven now recognizes Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, I'm afraid it won't do you any good to Ming Gong." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Since the Son of Heaven has recognized Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, I use the edict of the Son of Heaven to ask him, I think he will not be dissatisfied, besides, I left Liu Bei's brother in Xudu, although he is very close to the Son of Heaven, but it is still in my grasp, what am I afraid of?" What I'm thinking about now is Taiwei Yang Biao, he is a relative of Yuan Shu, if he and Yuan Shu's brothers act as internal responses, then the disaster will not be small, and he should be eliminated quickly. ”

Xun Yu did not agree or object, so Cao Cao sent someone to falsely accuse Yang Biao, saying that he colluded with Yuan Shu and had the intention of rebellion, and then sent him to prison.

This Yang Biao is also a scholar, and the relationship with Kong Rong and other celebrities is not bad, he was charged with a crime for no reason, and he is about to be beheaded by full favor, Kong Rong is naturally not convinced, so he admonished Cao Cao and said: "Yang Gong IV Qingde, how could he collude with someone like Yuan Shu, is it a mistake!" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Actually, this is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and I can't do anything about it!" ”

Kong Rong said: "If King Cheng wants to kill Zhaogong, does Duke Zhou dare to say that he doesn't know?" ”

There is a lot of irony in this sentence, Cao Cao knew that these scholars could not afford to offend, so he removed Yang Biao from his official position and let him return to old age.

This action also aroused the anger of others, and Zhao Yan, the speaker of the council, was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's arbitrariness, and impeached Cao Cao to the Son of Heaven, saying that he did not follow the emperor's will and convicted the ministers without authorization. When Cao Cao found out, he was very angry and immediately ordered the person to be beheaded.

When the officials found out, they were all very frightened. The strategist Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao and said, "Now that the prestige of the prime minister is getting bigger and bigger, why not take this opportunity to be the king!" ”

Cheng Yu said Cao Cao's heart, but Cao Cao knew that it was not yet the time, so he said: "Now the courtiers who support the Son of Heaven are still in the majority, and they can't act rashly, I want to invite the Son of Heaven to hunt together and observe the situation." ”

So Cao Cao chose a good horse and all kinds of utensils, first gathered the soldiers outside the city, and then invited the Son of Heaven to hunt.

Emperor Xian couldn't figure out the situation, and said, "I'm afraid that Tian Hunting is not the right way." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I heard that the ancient emperors would go to the suburbs in four seasons to show their strength. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xian did not dare to refuse, so he rode on a free horse, took a carved bow and golden arrows, and went out of the city together.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Yuyi, and Zhang Fei to bend their bows and insert arrows, wearing heart-covering armor inside, holding their respective weapons in their hands, and led dozens of cavalry out of the city with Emperor Xian. Cao Cao rode a clawed yellow flying electric horse, with 100,000 soldiers, and hunted in Xutian with the Son of Heaven, and the soldiers lined up the paddock and occupied a range of more than 200 miles around. Cao Cao and the emperor's soldiers and horses marched, only fighting for one horse, behind were Cao Cao's henchmen and favorite generals, and all the civil and military officials were left behind, and no one dared to approach.

When they came to Xu Tianzhong, Liu Bei and others stood aside. Emperor Xian said: "I want to see Uncle Liu Huang shoot arrows!" ”

So Liu Bei was ordered to get on the horse, and when he saw a rabbit in the grass, he hurriedly bent his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow hit the rabbit, and the emperor applauded.

Turning around and walking through the dirt slope, he suddenly saw a big deer coming out of the thorns, Emperor Xian shot three arrows in a row and still missed, turned back to Cao Cao and said: "Aiqing, shoot quickly!" ”

So Cao Cao took the treasure eagle bow and the golden arrow from the hands of Emperor Xian, and an arrow was sent out, hitting the back of the big deer, and the big deer fell in the grass.

When the ministers saw that it was the golden arrow used by the Son of Heaven who shot the big deer, they thought that the Son of Heaven had shot it, and Du Shan shouted: "Long live!" ”

At this time, Cao manipulated the horse to rush to the front of Emperor Xian, and stood in front of the Son of Heaven to accept everyone's praise.

Guan Yu was very angry when he saw it, raised his eyebrows, opened his Danfeng eyes, and prepared to kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei saw it, and hurriedly waved his hand to him, and then kept making his eyes, Yuyi also waved his hand to Guan Yu, signaling him to come back quickly.

When Guan Yu saw this situation, he didn't act rashly and returned to Liu Bei's side.

Liu Bei rode up to Cao Cao, bowed, and congratulated: "The prime minister's good archery skills are rare in the world!" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "I can shoot, and it is also thanks to the blessing of the Son of Heaven!" He turned around and bowed to Emperor Xian and congratulated him, but he didn't have the slightest intention of returning the treasure carving bow, so he took it with himself.

After the hunt, a banquet was held nearby, and then everyone returned to Xudu, and everyone left.

After going back, Guan Yu said to Liu Bei and Yuyi: "Cao Cao bullied the king, I am going to kill him today to eliminate harm for the country, why should the eldest brother and fourth brother stop me." ”

Liu Bei said: "Throwing a rat bogey, Cao Cao and Emperor Xian are only a horse away, not to mention that all around him are his henchmen, if you were angry and made a move, if you didn't succeed in killing Cao Cao, then it would hurt the Son of Heaven, but it would make us sit on the charge of murdering the Son of Heaven." ”

Yu Yi nodded and said, "Big brother is right, now Cao Thief's intentions are obvious, some of Cao Cao's right-hand men were around at that time, and it was very difficult to kill him." ”

Guan Yu sighed: "If you don't kill this traitor today, it will be a disaster sooner or later in the future." ”

"Big brother knows this better than us, we have to think about it in the long run." Yuyi Road.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Yes, this matter must be carried out in secret, and the news must not be leaked!" ”

After the emperor returned to the palace, he hugged the queen and cried, and said: "Since I was here, I have been a traitor, first Dong Zhuo, and then Li Xun and Guo Yan, this is the suffering that ordinary people can't bear, we have persevered, and now Cao Cao has received Xu Du, thinking that he is the minister of the society, I didn't expect that he is also a dictatorship to gain power, as a blessing, every time I see him, I feel like there is a thorn in the back." Today on the hunting ground, he stood in front of me to accept everyone's congratulations, which is really rude! Sooner or later, there must be other schemes, and neither of us knew how to die at that time! ”

Empress Fu sighed: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, they all hold the Han Dynasty's Yulu, isn't there anyone who comes to save the country?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a man suddenly came in.

The two of them thought it was Cao Cao's person, and they were very scared when they arrived, and when the person got closer, they knew that it was the queen's father, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, I can recommend someone to you to get rid of Cao Thief!" ”

Emperor Xian wiped his tears and asked, "Do the emperors also know about Cao Cao's domineering?" ”
